Thousands of puffins(海鹦) live in Maine and on islands in the Gulf of Maine. But the puffins may be in danger. Last summer, the percentage of laid eggs that successfully produced baby puffins took a dive. Scientists also found a decline in the average body weight of the adult and baby puffins on Machias Seal Island, home to the area’s largest colony. Over the winter, dozens of the seabirds from the region were found dead, likely from starvation.

What’s causing the puffin trouble? Scientists think it may be a shortage of food. With ocean temperatures rising, fish populations have moved around. Normally, puffins’ primary food source is herring, a type of fish. A lack of herring in the area could be causing the problem.

Butterfish from the south have become more abundant in the Gulf of Maine and could be a new food source for birds. But Steve Kress says butterfish may be too big and round for baby puffins to swallow.

Puffins spend most of their lives at sea. They come ashore to breed each spring and return to the ocean in August. The chicks swim to sea about 40 days after hatching. Puffin populations stretch across the North Atlantic, from Maine to northern Russia.

Maine’s puffin population has been at risk in the past. In the 1800s, they were hunted for their food, eggs and feathers. By 1901, only one pair of puffins remained in the state. Thanks to the help of local lighthouse keepers and seabird restoration programs, the state’s puffin population has been restored to more than 2,000 birds.

Scientists aren’t sure what will happen to the Gulf of Maine’s puffins. The birds may move further north. Kress says he hopes the Gulf population will sustain itself and then he continued. “You never know what climate change will bring,” Kress said. “Historically fish could move out and more southerly fish could move in, and puffins may adapt to the new fish. Only they will know how the story will unfold.”

[1]Your vacabulary refers to the words in a language you are familiar with. Your active vocabulary contains the words you understand and use in speech and in print, and your passive vocabulary includes the words you do not use but understand. Although children learn more new words than adults, the vocabulary of an adult is not fixed and can be increased. Improve your language skills with daily exposure to new words, their pronunciations and meanings.

[2]______. The more often you read, the faster your vocabulary can grow. Choose reading material that is slightly above your level and keep a dictionary with you to look up words you do not know.

[3]Find a new word every day．If you do not encounter an unfamiliar word in your daily reading，use your dictionary to search for one．

[4]Learn the correct definition and pronunciation for each new word you encounter．Pronunciation is as important as definition because in order to add a word to your active vocabulary，you must be able to use it in speech．

[5]Explain the meaning of the word so that you can connect it to something memorable．Use imagery and personal relevance(关联)．If you have just learned that the word“obstinate”means stubborn and unyielding，think about the neighbor who will not lend you his car．Imagine him shaking his head，and think of him as obstinate in his refusal．

[6]Use your new word in speech and in writing．Tell a friend about your boss obstinately refusing to reschedule your vacation time．E-mail your sister about how your cat is obstinate about sleeping on your pillow．The first time you use a new word in speech it may seem clumsy and forced，but the more you use it，the more fluent you will become in its use．Soon it will be a regular part of your active vocabulary．

[7]Tell everyone you are trying to increase your vocabulary．Encourage them to ask you what your latest word is，or to ask for the definition of a new word you have used．The more you explain the meaning of a word to someone，the more likely you are to remember it．
